Some of the clips featured in this program date back as far as 1971 and; although some of the footage is not of the best quality; the dynamic action more than makes up for this. By current-day standards; even the action may seem a little 'stilted' but nonetheless; in its day; this kind of action brought crowds of thousands to their feet! There are recorded incidents of broken bones and split eyelids as well as 'orthodontic alterations' as a result of these demonstrations. A certain very well-known Japanese Sensei was; on more than one occasion; heard to utter; 'Sorry' just as he was about to execute a certain part of the demonstration'. Sit back and enjoy a little of the nostalgia that this programme will create; or perhaps even thrill at the magic that these early Karate Masters used to focus our attention on The Art of Karate.
